SUMMARY:Charity Speed Dating
DESCRIPTION:Sharpen up your flirting skills with Charity Speed Dating\n\nSu
 ssex singletons who fancy looking for love offline will soon have the oppo
 rtunity to make the magic happen when meeting new potential partners in th
 e flesh.\n\nWith dating apps in sharp decline\, this matchmaking event cou
 ld be the answer to suddenly finding that seemingly elusive special someon
 e.\n\nThe Charity Meet Dads &amp\; Lads Speed Dating evening in Hove on 27
  March (7.45pm-late) is the brainchild of Brighton-based Love Doctor Monti
 .\n\nAn author and columnist on love and relationships\, he will donate £
 5 from every ticket sold to the Sussex children’s charity FSW.\n\nSingle
  dads and younger men aged at least 25 years old looking for a meaningful 
 romantic relationship will get the chance to meet mums and lasses. \n\nThe
  onus is to find a special connection during six-minute mini-dates by bein
 g yourself\, and not be too inquisitive about the person opposite.\n\nSpee
 d dating is a quickfire face-to-face event\, which enables eligible single
 s to enjoy mini-dates with a number of potential romantic partners\, and c
 an prove highly successful.\n\nMen are rotated from table to table for eac
 h six-minute mini-date. There is a final ‘lucky dip’ rendezvous at the
  end\, when ladies will move around for the final mini-date that lasts thr
 ee minutes.\n\nParticipants message the host at the end of each mini-date 
 their name\, details of the person they just met and either Yes that they 
 wish to see them again or No that they don’t. Results are sent the follo
 wing day. \n\nUnlike dating apps\, where you have too much choice that can
  zap your energy and eat into your valuable time\, speed dating is more ex
 clusive and a rapport can quickly develop.\n\nLove Doctor Monti explained:
  “Many singletons are falling out of love with dating apps\, and will ha
 ve forgotten how to implement their flirty skills. \n\n“So many people w
 ho use apps are unrealistic about who they should match up with\, because 
 they are setting ridiculously high expectations and not understanding thei
 r own value.\n\n“As men are visual creatures\, these apps mean they are 
 often very shallow and only chase ladies on looks alone — even if they a
 re out of their league.\n\n“Women are generally not as superficial\, and
  usually read about the character of a potential date before communicating
 . This is perceived as being picky by men\, who then get frustrated that t
 hey didn’t get a match with the lady that they visually liked.”\n\nThe
  Blind Busker pub in Church Road\, Hove will play host to an event that wi
 ll be brimming with fun interaction and flirting in the flesh. Tickets inc
 lude a glass of prosecco during the event\, and there will be a bespoke 
 ‘love menu’ for drinks to order and enjoy.\n\nLove Doctor Monti\, who 
 has a popular book out titled Journey To Find The Perfect Partner Forever\
 , concluded: “Speed dating is very different from the apps\, which are b
 asically a lonely hearts service for struggling singletons\, as there’s 
 a real chance to click with someone and make them smile. \n\n“We all pos
 sess more magical qualities in the flesh than just a photo and a quick mes
 sage. Body language\, charisma\, the voice and so many other factors can b
 e the reason behind sparking a romantic connection.”\n\nTickets availabl
 e from The Blind Busker and online via https://skiddle.com/e/40705303\n\nC
 ost: £15 in advance\, £20 on the night. \n\nFurther queries: Love Doctor
